Avoiding her question altogether, Heng told her that a good school "cannot just be defined by an academic yardstick." The poor girl just wanted to study the humanities, not ace the subject. To study human culture, using methods that are primarily analytical, critical, or speculative, and having a significant historical element, as distinguished from the cold empirical approaches of the natural sciences. Scholars working in the humanities are sometimes described as "humanists". It must be all Greek to the inhuman Minister, who's focus is probably about GDP numbers, and how many more foreigners his comrades can pack into the Little Red Dot, to achieve the "sustainable economy" proposed by the White Paper.

when he first appear, I thought they finally found someone good. When they announced that psle will be less stressful for the parents by using banding, I realized that he is really good but with these words added behind "for nothing".
